Got my car back from Mike yesterday despite having this stupid food poisoning.

Loving the EBC Yellow Pads. The bite is MUCH more noticeable than those Hawk HPS pads.
Haven't done any super hard braking.

Mike got my Zeitronix ZT-2 Wideband/Boost Controller all setup. Finally can start doing some tinkering myself. Noticed that since the weather started getting warmer, the boost is down. So it begins.





I'm cool with Monthly meets.

Just wanted to apologize to you again for calling you the wrong name. I'm bad with names. You had one of the best looking cars there - very tastefully done.

We should all buy those sticky name tags to put on our shirts.

Would make things a bit easier for us new guys.

Glad to hear your liking the yellow stuffs. Just drive normal on the street for around 100 and you should be good. Gotta get that thing up to the track again soon!

sure do. If my boost/VDR readings have been correct, my boost is down to 21.9 instead of 26.5, so the car was only running about 335-340whp. Not quite 400. Hopefully I get this figured out.

For those of you guys running Manual Boost Controllers, do you see a big boost difference from say 25 degrees to 65 degrees?
Seems like a lot of 4.5lb of boost lost from Feb 2 to April 12 seems like a lot. This happened last year as well when getting tuned from Buschurs. Not sure if the Boost controller is bad or what.

I have my MBC set to spike 25. It was tuned this way back in the middle of July. I dont drive my X in the winter but i've driven it on cold (30 some degrees) mornings over the last month where it warmed up to 70+ throughout the day and logs show only about a half a pound more in the mornings. I have a Forge Unos. 4.5 sounds like a lot but it might be ball park.

I used to when I ran an MBC. It was like 2-3 lbs when I logged it properly with via evoscan.

Wierd part was it happened last year as well. Got some work done it was boosting at around 23psi...then wasn't a few months later it started only boosting to around 19psi. Then when I had it worked on again, the boost was back up again to 23psi. Which makes me wonder if the MBC is not holding correctly or just typical of MBCs.

So you think I can chalk it up to the MBC? So just adjust the MBC and log?
